Welcome to Fred's World!
Greetings from the foothills of Orlando...
I have no idea what a rooster has to do with anything in my life, but that's the default banner that came with blog software so I'm going to stick with it in the short term. I'll be dreaming up a replacement one soon, but to be honest with you I know it is going to be tough to top this rooster banner. :)
This new website will serve as the home base for both my blogs. In the future I'll add some additional content pertaining to....you guessed it, me! You'll have to bookmark those pages so you can visit them when you are having trouble going to sleep.
Don't try and click on any tags in the "Tag Cloud" displayed to the right, or you'll receive an error message. If you click on them via my individual blogs you will be OK. So far I have been unsuccessful in correcting the problem, so I'll just wait until after I install the updated version of this blog software when it is released in a few weeks.
Now for the scoop on my blogs. I have two separate blogs to select from:
Fred's Blog - This is where you will find my commentary on the sport and business of
triathlon, race directing, the triathlete lifestyle, and miscellaneous ramblings. I could not correct technical problems with my old "Fred's Blog", so I just deleted the old and started a new one. That was no great loss because I really did not have much content in it. My original blog from year's ago was the best. That was way back when very few race directors blogged, I still have the archives, but have not figured out how to restore the content. One of my goals in 2010 is to document the rich 26+ history of triathlons in Clermont. I wanted to do that for our 25th Anniversary, but time was not on my side.
Remember, Fred's Blog is my personal blog and not my company's blog. The views expressed are my own, and are not necessarily the views of Sommer Sports and Central Florida Triathletes.
Fred's Garden Blog - This is where you can follow my gardening adventures and also keep track of the work I'm doing hybridizing Brugmansia (Angel Trumpets) and exotic hibiscus. This blog became very active after summer and if you enjoy looking at flower and plant pictures, you should enjoy this blog. I was in the nursery business before I started producing races back in the early 80's, hence my love for gardening. I also have a website that is strictly devoted to gardening - SommerGardens.com.
